Reviewer: M Whittaker - Tulsa from ,
Being an owner and user of all what is available of Ashtanga Yoga videos and DVD I can without hesitation say that this is, if not the best, then among the best practice DVD that is available. It's suitable for both the beginner and the experienced practitioner, who want to gain new insight to there practice.
Darby is an excellent Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher, and a very reliable authority in his area. His deep knowledge and insight to the Ashtanga Yoga is brilliant served in this production, and everyone doing Ashtanga or has any interest in it, should treat them self to this experience. Here you don't just get a demonstration, you also get cues and advises that are coming from somebody who really knows his business, and also have the skills to teach it to others.
The video is very professional made, nice setting, two persons practising, Nicole Bordeleau doing modifications, so that the novice can follow, and Darby in the back, gracefully demonstration the movements and positions of the Ashtanga Yoga first series. There are lots of verbal cues and advices that make it easy and very insightful to listen to while practicing. Amongst others, the goodies include a break down of the Sun Salutation, and advice to teachers, that everyone practicing can benefit from learning.
A must to own if you practice, or want to practice the art of Ashtanga Yoga.

Little background: been doing yoga off and on for a couple years now and this was what got me back into one of my "on" periods. So while I'm not a newcomer to yoga I was one in reference to how flexible/strong my body was.
This DVD does have a lot of really good stuff for the beginner or advanced. The 90 minute series is truly where this DVD shines as they do a complete body "stretch" and the two person setup allows for showing the beginner an alternative pose to one which Darby (the main practitioner) is doing (sometimes the positions are simply impossible for the new/intermediate level). Combine this with the 10 minute "Sun Salutation" section for the quick "morning wake up" and this is well worth the 4 stars.
So why not 5? The 90 minute version is bit long (it actually stetches almost to two hours) which as a person with a fairly hectic schedule means I almost never do this portion of the DVD. The 30 minute version (which start to finish really takes about 45 minutes) might seem to a good middle ground (and for the most part it is), but I have found it to be lacking in several aspects. The forward facing portion of the legs (quadricep mostly) is completely ignored and excepting the cobra position of the numerous sun salutations the same can be said for the stomach area. Outer hips area, neck/shoulder area fall victim as well (though the latter to get worked, just not as heavily as others). If however you want dramatically increase you're hamstring/groin flexibility and get a ton of push-ups in the 30 minute is for you.
Basically I just think they did an excellent job on the 90, but ended up skimping a bit on the 30...truly a 60 minute instead of the 30 would have been ideal with the 90 for someone who wants a heavy work over

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
